American Ninja Warrior[]
American Ninja Warrior 4[]
Reyes made his debut at the Northeast Qualifiers held in Miami. Reyes had caught the producer's attention with a rap song he made in his submission video titled, "I'm a Ninja." Reyes would receive a fully televised run. He was making quick work of the early obstacles before losing his balance on the Bungee Bridge. He fell to the side of the obstacle, which resulted in an immediate disqualification. Reyes would be one of the only ninjas to fail the Bungee Bridge all season.
American Ninja Warrior 5[]
Reyes' sophomore season took place at the Baltimore Qualifiers. His run took place during the day, hence it being all cut from broadcast. Reyes was caught up on the Circle Cross, desperately trying to build up a swing, lest, he couldn't. He did not advance to the City Finals.
American Ninja Warrior 6[]
Reyes' third attempt would prove to be his best. Reyes appeared at the Miami Qualifiers and clear a qualifier for the very first time in his career. His run was all cut and he finished the course in 2:42:94. Reyes was one of the slowest clears of the night, placing 37th overall. The Warped Wall and the Jump Hang are the obstacles he had spent most of his time on.
At the Miami City Finals, Reyes' run would be shown in full. Like the day prior, Reyes' pace was tortoise like. Reyes had made a bet with Sam Sann that if he cleared the course, he'd be owed a sandwich. Reyes saved up all his stamina and cleared in 7:15:95, one of the slowest clears of a city finals course in the history of ANW. He placed 7th overall and got his promised sandwich.
In Vegas, Reyes' Stage One run was digested. Reye's National Finals run didn't last long, as he fell victim to an obstacle that plagued the taping. Reyes slipped off the landing pad of the Silk Slider. The pad easily got wet from fails, making it even harder to land on as the night went on. These factors led to Reyes' early exit.
American Ninja Warrior 7[]
Reyes' final appearance would happen at the Pittsburgh Qualifiers. His run was all cut, but his result was documented by fans in attendance. Reyes had slipped off Snake Crossing, an obstacle that terrorized the producers and competitors alike and marked his worst performance on the show as well as the final run in his ninja career.
Team Ninja Warrior 2[]
Reyes did compete as a member of Jesse LaBreck's team the LaBreckfast Club in Team Ninja Warrior 2. Reyes's record by the end of the season was 5 wins and 1 loss. He was replaced by Chris DiGangi on the team during the next season.
